Neto Moscoso

Neto Moscoso (died 1984) was a Colombian judge who was a firm enemy of the drug cartels. In 1984, he had criminal Leon Moncayo extradited to the United States per the US-Colombia extradition treaty, leading to Moscoso's assassination in a car bombing by Pablo Escobar's fearsome Medellin Cartel.

Biography
Neto Moscoso was an honest and experienced judge from Medellin, and he worked tirelessly against the local drug cartels. In 1984, drug baron Pablo Escobar and his paramilitary group, "The Extraditibles", sent him a warning that discouraged him from extraditing any drug traffickers. Moscoso had to wear a balaclava to the courtroom when he sent Leon Moncayo to jail in the United States for smuggling cocaine, but he was sold out by corrupt police. Moscoso was assassinated by a car bomb in retaliation for his defiance of Escobar and the Medellin Cartel.
